New discussion topic!What is your least favorite color scheme? AND What scheme would you personally like made?
Discuss at least one color scheme that doesn't really float your boat And one that you would personally create. - What are the colors you don't like about it? - Why don't you like it? - What is a scheme you WOULD like made?
I'd have to think on what scheme I WOULD like made. But there are a few of the yellow scheme that aren't my favorite. Not to promote but if you want to look at the schemes Go Here~
As always, looking forward to your responses! You can answer one or all of the questions or just post your thoughts~

Hey, there!
Color scheme I like the least . . . when I was looking down your guide (no need to apologize for promotion, it's great), Momo caught my eye. Something about the brilliant peach plus the grayed out green just doesn't work for me for some reason. I think that maybe if a darker color got added to the scheme, that might help things come together a little bit more. As it is, the scheme seems . . . off? There just seems to be something missing.
Here's an avatar that adds Ponderosa and Wispberry to some Momo items, so, the scheme could work, I'm just not fond of the current version:
Don't get me wrong, I like the peach and I love swampberry, they just don't seem to go together very well.
As for a scheme that I would like made, um, I actually already submitted one for an item recolor. I'm not sure exactly how it will turn out, or how useful it will be, but here are the mocs (it's supposed to go with chocolate brown hair, ala Ample Hades Here The pale brown is the brown from the feathers of Punk's Flight, then there's sable, Honey Brown (I want it to be darker, like in Latitude), Wispberry, Dandelion, and Graham Cracker for the metal.
It took me a while to "cook" this one, but I wanted a scheme that didn't involve white/offwhite/ivory, black/offblack, or gold (though you could count graham cracker as gold!) I did a crazy project a while back where I sorted all the color schemes into a spreadsheet and there's an overabundance of them that use some combination of those three.
I would also like to see more schemes involving browns, oranges, reds, and even greens. But that's me, I'm a little weird (though . . . there are a LOT of schemes that involve blues, purples, and pinks)
Well, there's two color schemes I hate (hate is a strong word, more like dislike sweatdrop) Bubblegum is one - basically any of the color schemes that's got bright/sky blue and pink, but bubblegum is the best example. It hurts my eyes. But I do like the ones that use a pale blue or teal color with pink. Those are super cute 3nodding It's just the ones with bright blue/pink that bother me.
I also hate festive, but that's only because the majority of items that use umber red are festive, and I don't want the green emotion_bigvein
Speaking of~~ I really love umber red, and I wish more/nicer items would use it. So if I were to make a color scheme, it would be - Umber red, Ivory, Offblack, Vintage gold. Maybe a little brown, kind of like the Librarian color scheme, but Umber instead of Crimson.
I know there are a couple color schemes close to that, but 1: they use cream or pale yellows instead of white, and I prefer ivory/offwhite, 2: they also have other shades of red in them, and I just want umber, and 3: even the color schemes that do use umber without any green are only on, like, 3 items. I just want more~!

I do think the umber red used in festive is lovely, and I've often thought that it's a shame that it doesn't get used in any other schemes

I used to like bubblegum when I first came back on but now that I have been exposed to more schemes it feels really boring. Like yay another pink/ white / blue avi.... Although TBH I do have 1 pink/white avi in my closet. LOL!

I agree with you there is definitely a lack of brown color schemes.

For scheme's I don't like? I'd have to say, right off the bat, that would be Demure and Booming.
For Demure, the colors are just too washed out and muted for me. What's with that gross, dull green? That mucky brown? And I looooooove pink, but honey that ain't it lol. It's just so dull and unsaturated!! Blooming is a million times better! And yet, somehow, this scheme is in my inventory anyway hehehe. x'DD
Booming is just this clashing mix of neon colors that just don't look good together. It's definitely the dark mint that kills it. If it was some other color, or heck if you just removed the dark mint altogether, it would have worked. But as it is right now, it doesn't.
On a closer inspection, I realize that I also dislike Wonderfun, Jolly and Popcorn.
In all these schemes, the colors are either clashing or don't mix well. Wonderfun's bright blue, yellow and red look disastrous together. Jolly is the best of the worst, but that doesn't excuse the red for being so jarringly out of place. Popcorn's poppy orange is nauseating with those other colors, but this would have been okay if not for the black.
And I will come and edit this post with the schemes I would make, a bit later. It's dinner time now hehe~ heart
I'm back! And ready to answer the second question! I would make these two schemes:
The first one would consist of the colors Solar orange, Bubblegum pink, and Ivory with Gold accents. The second one would consist of the colors Solar orange, Moluccella and Ivory.

When it comes to dislikes I can't recall specific scheme names, but I'm not a fan of schemes that consist only of very muted grays or blues. I just know I see stuff in them floating around the MP and my immediate reaction is "pass".
If I could make a scheme it would be CMYK except every item utilizes color blocking rather than gradients.

Wow, that's quite the orange. I don't think I've seen that orange on gaia, before--I am always in favor of more orange.

I agree that CMYK would be great with more color blocking instead of the gradients.

I know! Isn't it?! I love it soooooo much, oh my gosh!!! I want all the oranges for Gaia, especially more orange hair! I discovered it originally from someone else's avatar wearing one of the hairs and realized I needed so much more of it.
Unfortunately, there are very few items that feature solar orange. Two hairs, one lip color and four regular items are the only things I can find in the marketplace that feature it at all. Interestingly enough, it seems to be apart of a color scheme that doesn't appear to be named. I'm personally not a fan of the scheme, as I don't like the dark maroons and black colors with the vibrant orange, but it's intriguing that hardly anyone knows it exists.
Here are all the items with solar orange, in case you're interested!

Hey, thank you. Apparently I own some of those items from the bundle. I guess I just never caught on that the orange was a different one. Isn't it funny how colors can look different when used in different combinations?
(For DawnLuna) The scheme items seem to all come from a usermade bundle by The Golden Boleyn, and have the tag "irreplaceable" Though, true to gaia form, the green in the some of the items is not listed in the tags, and searching "irreplaceable " also brings up an item that has nothing to do with the scheme

Hello all! I will enjoy reading your replies tomorrow~~

I had no idea that I needed more orange on Gaia, but now I absolutely do.

Ther are some oranges hanging around hidden as peach colors, but yeah, it would be nice to balance out all those blues, purples, and pinks.

Hello! I actually really love your reworked version. I agree momo never, did it for me colorwise. It also always felt too similar to peach bellini. Like a washed out version.
Ooo what a lovely scheme! It feels nice and neutral. Id love to see that spread sheet (I have so many color scheme spreadsheets from when I made the color scheme guide haha eh) there really are an overabundance of some combinations.
So many purples oh my god, I love purple, but dang....
